The NBC aired special chose one of the finest actors in the profession today to host their special on deception. The host of course being the "irrepressible" Judd Nelson. Mr. Nelson takes us through the world of deception. From the casinos cheats to the mystery of crop circles. With demonstrations by professionals Judd narrates step by step how many cheat at blackjack, poker, and roulette. In addition how gamblers pick up extra chips and how losing small can help them win big. However Mr. Nelson also points out quite frequently these cheat deceptions should not be attempted. The special also covers psychic powers, and how seances, mind reading, and psychic surgery are more focused on emptying participants wallets than contacting the supernatural. The special concludes with the secret behind one of the worlds oldest wonders, crop circles. The simplicity of the entire process is staggering. Something that has baffled scientists for centuries can be accomplished with a few friends and simple household items. The special is very well done, and the host of course cannot be beat! The demonstrations on how these deceptions are accomplished are really fascinating. But as our gracious host reminds us "If something looks too good to be true, it probably is."
